RFP #2005-6 Reissued The Legislative Budget and Finance Committee Officers have directed staff to conduct a study on the economic costs of starting school prior to Labor Day. The LB & FC staff is seeking a contractor to study the concern that, due to the school year beginning prior to Labor Day, families are cutting summer vacations short, thereby impacting tourism revenue and teachers and students are losing wages and job opportunities as a result of not being able to work the week prior to Labor Day and on Labor Day weekend. This study is to (1) provide a comparison of school calendars from 2004-05 to an appropriate year in the early 1970s and report on the average number of instructional days; school holidays other than for staff development or workdays; staff development or workdays; average school year in months and weeks; and average summer break in weeks and days for at least 100 districts; (2) determine the economic impact of early school start dates, including, but not limited to loss of personal income by students, teachers, support staff and migrant workers; loss to tourist economies per day and per week; cost to schools for their operations and utilities per day and per week; (3) determine the costs to parents and teachers for child care costs per day and per week. The Texas Comptroller issued a report on the costs of starting school before Labor Day - see http://www.window.state.tx.us/specialrpt/school. The LB & FC is seeking similar data and a similar reporting format with data specific to Pennsylvania. Responses to this RFP are due in the LB & FC offices no later than 4:30 p.m. on March 10, 2006.
